Rapa Nui

One of the most mysterious and exotic places on earth can be found nearly midway in the South Pacific Ocean between the coast of Chile (South America) and Tahiti, (French Polynesia). Rapa Nui, or Easter Island as it’s better known, has fascinated people for years, with its history, unique archaeology, legends and traditions. Archaeological remains can be found everywhere on the island, virtually making all of Easter Island an open-air museum.

The island is not typical of other South Pacific islands, as it’s not particularly tropical. Easter is triangular in shape, with an extinct volcano at each point and smaller volcanoes in the central area. The local people -- the Rapa Nui -- are of Polynesian descent. There are many stories as to where they came from, but one widely held is that the people originally came by boat from the Marquesas Islands around the 4th century. The first European to make contact with the islanders was a Dutch admiral, Jacob Roggeveen, who came on Easter Sunday, 1722 -- thus the name of Easter Island.

Easter Island is a province of Chile, and Spanish is spoken by nearly everyone on the island. English is also spoken by those who deal with tourists. The currencies are the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar. The main attraction for visitors to the island is seeing the mystical moai (statues) that are scattered everywhere, including some that, strangely, were never completed.
